How are you mounting the filesystem? (I don't remember details from
the prior discussion)  Directly with /dev/mdXXX or are you using some
other link?  If you are using some other link then udev needs time to
get the original mdXXX creation event and then create other links
pointing to mdXXX.

And as someone else said, I would put it all in a single script and
call that single script and add dates and echo's of various sorts and
send both stderr and stdout to a log file.  I usually just appended to
the log file and then once in a while clear the file manually, but you
can also just overwrite.
